Ebay Label Charged almost double what the original cost was using UPS
Summary: onogames is concerned about a discrepancy in shipping charges via eBay where a label showed $33.35 at purchase but was later charged at -C$62.53 after the item was delivered. They always double-check their shipment dimensions but received no notifications on discrepancies. brettjet38 and recped suggest that extra fees are common with UPS and FedEx, especially when using labels through eBay, and recommend handling shipping directly through carrier accounts to assert control over charges. sweckform2 shares a similar issue where label charges appeared months later, asking if this is normal. brettjet38 confirms it's normal, and ladybug2785 suggests using a credit card to manage such delays. brettjet38 adds that delays can vary from a few days to months, advising keeping funds available for such eventualities.
When I made the label it was $33.35 but then after I sent the item and it got delivered
ebay charged me -C$62.53.
I know when I add shipping details I always triple check my measurement's so what's the deal? that seems like quiet the discrepency? also no messages or anything about my package dimensions being incorrect.

·1 year agoI have a similar concern that I need a little help with...
For background context: I am based in Toronto, Canada and I sold a laptop set to a buyer in Dallas, US in August of 2024. The package was shipped via UPS and delivered on-time and the customer was not charged any duties/import taxes upon reciept.
The issue: Today, eBay informs me that I am being dinged CAD $35.74 for that order (shipping label charges) by UPS.
What I did: I scrolled through my eBay Activity and noticed that I was NOT charged for the shipping label "at that time (which should have been in August of 2024 itself)" but the charges are only being reflected in my account now.
Is this normal? Can I do anything about this?

·1 year agoYes we noticed that too. We are not getting charged for labels until 3 weeks later sometimes. Our solution was to switch to a credit card for fees and charges so it cannot NSF the bank account.

·1 year agoI had a label not get charged until 3 months after it was generated. It was a package to New Zealand. Usually, it can range from a few days to multiple weeks. Recently, it's within 2-3 days.
I ensure I always have funds to cover these expected charges.

·2 years agoWelcome to the UPS - FedEx
Extra fees club, you have been initiated & why I have NEVER used these two services, you never know who or what will be charged a fee...

·2 years agoWhile it's true that both FedEx and UPS are well know for upcharges the real issue is that when you buy the labels from eBay you have virtually no way to question additional charges.
If you want to use those carriers get your own accounts and deal direct.
